The 3 main cytoskeletal fibers we learned in class are…
What are microtubules, intermediate filaments, and microfilaments?
“Interphase” refers to what stages of the cell cycle?
What are all stages of the cell cycle excluding Mitosis? (G1, S, G2, G0)
Programmed cell death
What is apoptosis?
At the center of chlorophyll molecules, there is a ___ ion.
What is an Mg2+ ion?
When Rubisco catalyzes the “fixation” of carbon, where is the carbon coming from?
What is CO2 in the air?
What is the name of the transport molecule that travels along the microtubules to “carry” molecules/vesicles/organelles around the cell?
What are kinesins?
Cells are either in a state of division or performing normal function. What’s the purpose of doing this?
What is the fact that the mechanisms behind replication and normal function often conflict, and that they would likely lead to many problems during either process.
The signalling molecules that activate CDK proteins
What are cyclins?
Where does the e- that replenishes the P680 pigment come from?
What is water/H2O?
What does RuBisCO stand for?
What is Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase?
In order of decreasing size, list the 3 cytoskeletal fibers
What are Microtubules → Intermediate Filaments → Microfilaments
The 5 stages of Mitosis are…
What are Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, & Telophase/Cytokinesis?
The 3 cell cycle “checkpoints” are…
What are restriction point (AKA G1-S Transition), G2-M Transition, & Metaphase-Anaphase Transition?
The transfer of energy between adjacent pigments in the chloroplast is called…
What is photon resonance transfer?
What product(s) of energy transduction is/are used during the Calvin cycle to fix carbon?
What are ATP and NADPH?
Microtubules have alpha and beta ends. The _____ end is positive and grows from this end, and the _____ end is negative and shrinks from this end.
What is the Beta end and Alpha end?
The proteins surrounding the centromeres of sister chromatids are called…
What are kinetochores?
Enzymes that cleave other proteins are called…
What are caspases?
What is the terminal electron acceptor of the photosynthetic electron transport chain?
What is NADP+?
If RuBisCO is the most abundant protein/enzyme in the planet, why is it that humans don’t have it?
What is the fact that humans don’t photosynthesize, and that we would not be able to meet our energy demands by photosynthesizing, so we get our energy needs by consuming other organisms.
